Superb Dublin, brilliant display of football. Something tells me that Dublin & Mayo will renew their rivalry in the very near future.

Another fine win and thankfully, we had players available that were in doubt before the match.
The new penno rule was a huge factor but what a challenge, and huge desire shown by Paddy Small to start the turnover attack that led to it.
Kerry will rightly be favourites and deservedly so, Dubs will need to find a season best performance and hope for Kerry to have a below par performance, maybe miss a few they'd normally take. Whatever happens, all credit to Dublin, its been a great few weeks and they deserve plenty of credit, Ger Brennn being back has been an undeniable factor. Let's get some 2011 spirit back into us!

Congrats to Dublin. A fully deserved win. Had the better of our kickout, in the same way they did in Pearse Stadium last year. We've learned absolutely nothing over the past 5 years and got what we deserved.
We've thrown away so many 5 or 6 point leads at this stage, I knew the game was far from over when we got the goal.
Hope ye have everyone fit for the semi-final and give it a right lash.

Wow what a win.
To follow up victory over Donegal with a win over a much fancied Galway team, is not what most would have expected from the Dubs 2 weeks ago.
The return of our manager, from an extremely harsh 3 month suspension is no coincidence to this turnaround tbh.

I felt we should have been further ahead at HT tbf, but when we were down by 6pts with only 13mins left, I thought we had blown it.

Yet again Con top scored for the Dubs, today with 1-07.

We even scored x4 2 pointers. ;o)

Not sure what is happening with Bugler and Lahiff - no game time today at all…?!

Great to see a Full House of over 82,00 in Croker.
And the Hill in full voice again.

Some achievement keeping Shane Walsh to just 1 point.

The next day out with be much tougher.
Very happy with the draw.
If we are to lose to them, it is much better that it is n a semi final rather than a final.
And it is not only me who feels this way.

There is always hope of course, but they will be odds on favourites to make in 2 in a row now that we have knocked out 2 serious challengers to them.

Very happy with the way Ger is developing this squad.
Getting to an All Ireland Semi Final is definitely ahead of expectations for this year.

Finally a word too on the Louth support today. Delighted for them. They have a good chance now of making it to an All Ireland Final.

Ger's return has been a massive factor.
Add to that the return from injury of some of our players.

Switching Theo out from the full back line has worked also.

For me, Scully has been our POTY.

Never thought we would get to an All Ireland semi final this year. Definitely ahead of schedule and we are in bonus territory now, no matter what happens in the semi.

Hopefully with the additional rest and handling their progress in training, they will both be match ready for the next outing. Dublin will need to have just about everything in their favour. Thankfully today, apart from some tired bodies and a few knocks, they all looked to be OK.
Now for some well earned recovery after the last few weeks.

Hopefully it is abundantly clear he doesn't speak for the vast and overwhelming majority of Kerry people.

He lost another €200 today. If you can believe that. Dublin v Kerry be a meeting of the football Gods.
